Samsung Galaxy S II runs on Google’s Android 2.3 aka Gingerbread operating system and can therefore use Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to read RFID tags and eventually to make mobile payments.

Samsung’s new Galaxy Tab tablets

The first Galaxy Tab is a 10-inch tablet that runs Android 3.0 aka Honeycomb OS. It doesn’t have a Samsung user interface and is meant to be a pure Android experience similar in that sense to the Motorola Xoom tablet – Google’s official Honeycomb standard. More info: Galaxy Tab 10.1 launch

The second Samsung Galaxy Tab with a middle-of-the-road 8.9-inch size also runs Honeycomb OS but with Samsung’s own UX on top of the Android UI. More info: Galaxy Tab 8.9 specs
